One of our Physios Kevin spent his Saturday expanding his knowledge about load management in elite adolescent athletes a couple of weeks ago. This event, run by the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS), plays host to some of the best researchers in this field and was a great success with a lot of valuable and applicable information gained!
Load is arguably one of the biggest factors when it comes to modifiable risk factors for injuries. The symposium featured talks from 7 speakers and covered everything from monitoring and measuring load, optimal nutrition, the psychological aspect of elite competition among others.
